Enhancing Food Security Through Environmental-Economic Accounting in Agriculture
Connecting the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) with Food Security Indicators is crucial for achieving sustainable agriculture and ending hunger. The FAO has developed a set of indicators to measure different dimensions of food security, including availability, access, stability, and utilization. By linking FAO Food Security Indicators with SEEA-Agriculture, we can better understand and improve the sustainability of our food systems.

S ystem of Environmental-Economic Accounting for Agriculture, Forestry andFisheries Food Security Indicators Francesco N. Tubiello Team Leader Environmental Statistics, FAO 10th Meeting of the UNCEEA, New York,24-26June 2016
Connecting SEEA and Food security Indicators FAO development of a set of Food Security Indicators for internal analysis Linkage to FAO Food Security Indicators for SDGs Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture Connection of FAO Food Security Indicators directly from SEEA-Agriculture, providing a link with SDGs

FAO Food Security Indicators and SEEA-Agriculture Following the recommendation of experts gathered at the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Round Table on hunger measurement, hosted at FAO in September 2011, a set of indicators aiming to capture the four dimensions of food security (Availability, Access, Stability, Utilization) were developed by the FAO Statistics Division. Examples: Type of indicator Source Coverage Availability Average dietary energy supply Average value of food production Share of dietary energy supply derived from cereals, roots and tubers Average protein supply Average supply of protein of animal origin FAO FAO FAO 1990-2016 1990-2013 1990-2011 FAO FAO 1990-2011 1990-2011
FAO Food Security Indicators and SEEA-Agriculture Following the recommendation of experts gathered at the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Round Table on hunger measurement, hosted at FAO in September 2011, a set of indicators aiming to capture the four dimensions of food security (Availability, Access, Stability, Utilization) were developed by the FAO Statistics Division. Examples: Type of indicator Source Coverage Access Percent of paved roads over total roads Domestic food price index Prevalence of undernourishment Depth of the food deficit Prevalence of food inadequacy WB FAO/ILO/WB FAO FAO FAO 1990-2011 2000-2014 1990-2016 1990-2016 1990-2016
FAO Food Security Indicators and SEEA-Agriculture Critical indicators can already be derived and expanded by SEEA- Agriculture, Global Combined Presentation: Average Value of Food Production (Availability) Share of dietary energy supply derived from cereals, roots and tubers (Availablity) Prevalence of Undernourishment (Access) Cereal import dependency ratio (Stability) Per capita food supply and variability (Stability)

Targets and Indicators for the SDGs and SEEA: Goal 2: Food Security Indicators In its Targets and Indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals and the Post-2015 Development Agenda , FAO proposed indicators to monitor progress towards SDGs goals and targets. Examples for Goal 2 and direct linkages to SEEA-Agriculture include: Target 2.1: By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round Indicator 2.1.1 Prevalence of population with moderate or severe food insecurity, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) Indicator 2.1.2 Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) Target 2.3: By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment Indicator 2.3.1 Value of production per labour unit (measured in constant USD), by classes of farming/pastoral/forestry enterprise size
Targets and Indicators for the SDGs and SEEA: Goal 2: Linking Food Security to Agri-environmental Indicators In its Targets and Indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals and the Post-2015 Development Agenda , FAO has proposed indicators that could be considered for FAO to monitor progress towards a subset of SDGs and related targets. Examples for Goal 2: Target 2.4: By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality Indicator 2.4.1 Percentage of agricultural area under sustainable agricultural practices SEEA Agriculture Water accounts; water stress indexes Soil Quality, Land Cover and Land Use Change; Deforestation and Forest Degradation Greenhouse gas emissions/removals, including per unit commodity

Conclusions Key Food Security Indicators developed by FAO, relevant to the SDG monitoring process, can be directly derived from SEEA-Agriculture Global Combined Presentation Others, including environmental sustainability variables, can be derived through more specialized SEEA-Agriculture Accounting Tables The linking process through SEEA Agriculture facilitated alignment across environmental databases at FAO, with new key connections between FAOSTAT and FRA
